June 22, 2009 "October" documents the multi-generational story of a working-class family coping with poverty, teen pregnancy, foster care, child molestation and war. "Mugabe" explores, through the lens of a 74-year-old white farmer, Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe's controversial land seizure program, which intended to re-distribute white-owned farmland. A Special Jury mention went to "Salt," directed by Michael Angus and Murray Fredericks, which chronicles photographer Murray Frederick's journey into the remote salt flats in South Australia.
